Tantra: Purifying Fire Meditation
- Details
- Written by Sofia Falcone
Today I will share with you an ancient meditation meant to recenter you as you allow your inner fire to ignite, consuming what is undesired fueling your energy and creativity.
“Kalagnina kalapadad utthitena svakam puram – Plushtam vichintayed ante shantabhásas tada bhavet”
Literally:
«My body is burned by the Fire of Kalágni that rises from the big toe of my right foot, ascending upwards. He/she will experience his/her (real) nature which is all peace, stillness.”
This meditation is found in two traditional tantric texts: The Kaula Jñana Nirnaya (Patala 2) and in the Vijñana Bhairava Tantra.
THE MEDITATION:
Lie down. Imagine yourself dead — the purpose of imagining such state is because a corpse is not concerned with good or bad, right or wrong, light or dark….it just is. As you imagine yourself in the same state as a corpse, bring your attention to your toes. With your eyes closed, look inside by imagining yourself as if you were a ghost floating above and then gently entering your organic body.
Bring your attention to the toes and contemplate how a Fire that is Kalágnirudra – the universal destroyer, Shiva; who is the Fire of Time- starts to ignite at the tip of the nail of the big toe of the right foot. Then continue towards the heel and the rest of the toes on both feet. Imagine as if you could feel your toes burning but there is no pain. Let it burn until only ashes remain. Then this fire rises up the body slowly, burning everything the fire encounters.
As the fire ascends, your body starts to disappear. Imagine all parts of your body turning into ashes and disappear. Once the entire body has burnt, all that remains are ashes scattered by the wind.
Once more your spirit is free from the constrictions of mind and body. Looking from above in space, you remain free of the part of the ego that is false…the part that likes to bear false witness, always making you doubt your own power and divinity. Look at the body…the body is there dead; burned, ashes — observe it, you are the only witness of you own power of destruction. When there is nothing left, one is back to origin, where everything is once more possible. and you observe it, you are the witness — and so you experience your real nature, which is all peace, stillness and joy, and from there you can once more choose to embrace your power of creation — whatever you do from that point on is all dependent on you.

I passionately believe one person can make a difference. I write from my own experiences and interests. It is my greatest hope that by writing about my own challenges and hopes, others may feel inspired to believe more in their inner power and to fully embrace themselves.
